Having felt like I had finished the Finns I picked up some some T-28’s for my Finns in the EW sale – they form a great part of a panassari company – post on that to follow…
Painting them was as with the other Finnish Tanks I’ve done. I did try and hunt for references on where markings were and other parts which were rusty or bare metal, but really didn’t find any good colour pictures.
Game wise this tank is expensive but effective for my EW Finns. (It’s CT) by the time my LW Finns are using it I find it less effective, but it has a role – infantry support. With three MG’s a platoon can relatively easily pin infantry, plus in assaults it’s rear MG and TA2 are a great combo. Sadly FA4 and an AT7 gun make it a poor choice for tank duels as the war progress’s.
